Kid, You'll Move Mountains / Loomings (self-released)Įven though for some reason it's taken almost a year, I'm glad to see that this record is finally getting a little recognition.
I was concerned that John Davis' alcohol-fueled evangelical turn would make a Superdrag reunion impossible or intolerable, but the God stuff is sparing and reasonable here. This one follows in the footsteps of those two, putting forth more terrifically catchy and aggressive power-pop, with a fuzzy sheen laid on top. Based on my iTunes ratings, their debut is my favorite album of all time, and their third record is pretty high as well. I've recently come to realize that Superdrag is probably my favorite band of the past 15 years, even though they didn't release anything between 20, and I've never seen them live.

Here they sound full and organic, with a rave-up tone from the moment the rhythm section kicks in on "When I Died." The tunes are still a little same-y, but the album demands repeated listening nonetheless and makes it hard to sit still while it's on. It was good, but it was sparse, the production was thin in a way that seemed affected and the songs lacked variation. The Thermals' prior record - their third - got all kinds of acclaim, but it sounded to me just like the first two. The Thermals / Now We Can See (Kill Rock Stars)
